This is what the RadioTimes.com is writing about the 3 episode travel show Sicily Unpacked on BBC: Andrew Graham-Dixon and Giorgio Locatelli hop aboard a cute railway carriage and visit Mount Etna. Naturally, there are stops along the way and they call at a vineyard in the foothills, where Locatelli knocks up a tasty-looking dish of deep-fried vine leaves. Yum!
But this is an artistic as well as culinary journey, so the boys have a look at the saucy Roman mosaic of the so-called “bikini girls” in the Villa Romana del Casale and help with a little bit of restoration.
It’s all rather lovely, and after yet another stop at yet another restaurant where the Michelin-starred chef makes a very witty tuna burger (really, it’s clever), Andrew and Giorgio agree that they’ve had a lovely time as their three-episode exploration ends.
Honestly I’ve to say that’s really clever and creative, compliments. I like it.
wow…my husband and I went to Sicily last year, and this brought back great memories ! Can’t wait to see the other episodes…and to go back to Sicilia !!
Friends from England are enchanted with “Sicily unpacked” i want to know how we Americans can get all the episodes. They said it was Terrific!
That is wonderful! Please post episodes 2 and 3!!!!!! Can’t wait to see more!

This film does not run smoothly. Only a few words at a time and then on to another scene. Help…
Please could you tell me the name of the restaurant where you ate that fantastic ‘witty’ tuna burger?
Thanks
